Hi,

Well, it is what is available.

I don't think that VMware will create a new video driver for a guest OS that has been retired over 20 years ago.

There is simply no market for that.

As a result they will not be able to find the justification to spent the cost that is needed to built and having to support a new video driver for Windows 3.1.
